Novak Djokovic: How Come Fans Don’t Like the Top-Ranked Serbian Star?

No. 1 ranked Novak Djokovic is the king of tennis, but not everyone is happy about it. His unique brand of personality and style is a revolution that invites both admiration and antipathy. He is late 1970s punk music invading progressive rock, stirring up mixed reactions like The Clash’s line, “phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust.” Djokovic’s polarizing appeal runs deeper... 

Super Rugby: Blues Are Rugby’s Version of the Philadelphia Eagles’ Dream Team

It’s only been two weeks, but the Blues have already lost two games that they could’ve and probably should’ve won. They began by losing to the Crusaders at home despite having two tries to their one. They almost won it in the final seconds with a drop goal, and their overall performance was not bad. They even managed to beat the Crusaders’ scrum and run the ball well. You can... 

Mexico vs. Colombia: A Disappointing Showing of Unused Potential

In Mexico’s embarrassing 2-0 loss to Colombia, the word “sloppy” is what comes to mind. It perfectly sums up what was displayed on the field. While they dominated in the beginning, Mexico’s sloppiness cost them what should of been a relatively easy victory. I am going to start by addressing the elephant in the room: What is the deal with Carlos Vela’s absence from... 

Super Rugby: A Positional Breakdown of Chiefs vs. Blues

On Friday, the Chiefs will be hosting their northern neighbours at Waikato Stadium for what should be a great matchup. The two teams are known for playing exciting rugby, despite not always succeeding in the win column. Last week was similar for both sides. The Blues lost to the Crusaders after having an early lead and almost won, had it not been for Israel Dagg’s fingertips. The Chiefs lost... 

Rugby: Top 5 Right Wingers in Super Rugby History

This week we continue our series of the top players in Super Rugby history by looking at the top five right wingers in the competition’s history. Wing is a position that has evolved since the inception of the Super 12 in 1996, as various rule changes have altered the skill set required by these men. In the early days, the game was relatively open and the primary job of the wingers was to be attacking,... 

U-23 Soccer: USA Takes Down Rival Mexico

To cap off a wonderful Wednesday for the US Soccer Federation, the U-23 National Team defeated the Mexico U-23 team by a score of 2-0 in Dallas. More than anything, the scoreline indicates that the U-23 team is very equipped for a strong run in the upcoming Olympics in London. Not only did the United States beat Mexico, it dismantled them. When watching the match, I could not recall a game where an... 

Is the German Bundesliga the Newest Breeding Ground for Young American Players?

For years, many people have seen Major League Soccer as the main league to develop America’s top young talent. Some of the top stars for the United States national team have starred in MLS before heading overseas—like Tim Howard with the MetroStars, Clint Dempsey in New England. Some other top players like Landon Donovan have stayed to play in the league for their whole career. But now,... 

Germany vs France: Loss Proves Tim Wiese Not Worthy of Starting Position

While Germany was not significantly outplayed in their international friendly against France, they did lose the match. In Germany, that is a sign that something needs to be changed, and that something needs to be the goalie.   Prior to Wednesday’s clash, the Sporting Life had this to say about Niese starting in net for the German squad: Tim Wiese will be given the chance to put... 

Tim Howard Exclusive: Team USA Keeper Talks Italy, Klinsmann, Everton and EPL

U.S. international goalkeeper Tim Howard was back home in Manchester when I caught up with him on Thursday evening—tired and happy after playing a full part in Team USA’s hugely encouraging 1-0 win against Italy. Howard made a key save early on in Genoa and didn’t put a glove wrong all night to help bring about the first U.S. win over the Azzurri in 11 attempts—and one of U.S....

Sure, it’s a bit early on to predict the starting XI’s come 2014, but it’s never too early to start prognosticating as to who has a chance.
